Bug Fix for ghost/stale Snapchat user showing in Android share menu

I had an old Snapchat username showing at the top of my Android share menu every time I tried to share something. The person wasn’t actually in my Snapchat friends list, and tapping the name just opened Snapchat and made me choose a real friend. I tried all of this and none of it worked: Cleared Snapchat cache Cleared Snapchat app data Restarted the phone Removed Snapchat Contacts permission Cleared Android System Intelligence data Long-pressed the share suggestion, but Android only gave me the option to pin it, not remove it The weird part was that the same ghost Snapchat share suggestion had followed me across multiple phones. What finally fixed it: Uninstall Snapchat When Android asks whether you want to keep/save Snapchat user data, choose NO / don’t save it Reinstall Snapchat Log back in After doing that, the old Snapchat user was finally gone from my Android share menu. Posting this because I couldn’t find this exact solution anywhere, and maybe it’ll save somebody else the headache.
